On a cool Scottish morning the River North Esk threads through a green cleft of rock and trees, guiding two people along moss-dark paths and small waterfalls. The private two-hour stroll through Roslin Glen Country Park lets the landscape set the pace: the river dares you to slow down, damp stone and leaf litter soft underfoot, while open views toward the castle ruins open like a stage.
